Post Game Notre Dame

Extremely happy for Cuffe. That guys really earned his time and is slowly becoming my favorite player.

He brings the right energy EVERYTIME. He would always have a place on my team.

 

[longtimefan]

He was moving and he stuck his leg out. Obvious call.

I think it was Burton's fault. He went too soon--before his teammate had time to get into position to set a decent screen.

And yes, it was an obvious illegal screen, but I'm a bit surprised it was called. Although not as surprised as Shrewsberry was. And to think the zebra who called it is an Irishman.

You can tell from the photos they really needed this…. You would also think they are undefeated lol but at least they are happy

 

[MSOrange]

Eric15 I know this defies all message board etiquette to ever admit being wrong, but I was wrong earlier in the season when I laughed at your comment that Cuffe deserved more time. You were right. He's capable of doing some really good things.

John Thompson in 1989?

I was wondering if that was it, but wasn’t sure.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Had 8 total offensive rebounds, 4 on one play. Lol

 

[JoeSU]

No. It was before the rebound that he is mad. It has to be the moving screen. Which it was.
That or losing to a horrible team after having a 17 pt lead. Can we get the ND presser here? That would be fun

I seriously doubt the coach's behavior reflects the image that a team like ND wants to project.

 

[Cstate]

Nice comeback! I turned it off towards the end of the first half, and I only saw the last 5 minutes of the game after my buddy texted me. Sounds like the boys were locked in during that time!

 

[nycfan]

I know Eddie isn’t Shaq like we paid him to be, but he had 13 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 1 foul and 0 turnovers.

With one of those assists being a spectacular behind-the-back pass to Davis. And despite not showing up in the box score, we would be remiss not to mention the energy and emotion he brought all game long -- it definitely rubbed off on his teammates.

Nothing gets me more angry than when the Cuse basketball instagram account posts highlights after a loss, particularly a blowout loss. You have to EARN your highlights. They should be mad at a loss. It's not time to build your brand, it's time to get to work. Play the players that put in the work. Don't reward a lack of effort.

They should be happy the effort they gave in the second half was outstanding. Now it is on RED to demand nothing less than that effort every minute of every game because it is there. And if someone isn't giving it then get in the next player. Time for Red to take control and demand the effort.

There's no participation trophies in social media!

Chris bell wasn't in that team pic, he changed his Instagram Profile Pic to Jimmy butler, and changed his bio "eventually everything comes to an end". He needs to grow up.

On the plus side, he hasn't killed a kid

 

[23Zone]

Who do you not see in that pic? Gee wonder where Bell is?

 

[orangefog]

Hey hey hey, let's be fair to Brian Kelly. The victim was 20, so he didn't kill a kid, he killed a young man.

 

[newmexicuse]

Cuffe was my player of the game for his D on Burton and making those clutch FTs.

Gotta serve the Red Bull pre-game and not save it for half-time.

Most energy I've seen from Eddie this season, at least in the second half.

Good to see JJ also step it up after halftime.

Elijah wasnt too efficient, but at least he got off the schneid and contributed 8.

Maybe Red can or cant be the right guy long term, but he sure pushed all the right buttons with halftime adjustments.

Great effort by all !!!

I don’t think I’ve seen a coach that unhinged at the dome ever. It looked scary as hell from the stands. I thought he was literally going to take a swing at the ref.

I thought the illegal screen would have been a play on, but ND players were extending their knees all day long on the screens. The incredulous call on Cuffe trying to fight over a screen when the ND player wedged his knee into Cuffe was horrific.

It was just a matter of time.

 

[Eric15]

690West I had a two game parlay: SU moneyline and Texans +9.5. That meaningless safety just swung the Texans line. Yay!

 

[florange44]

Execution may or may not reflect actual coaching.

agree with that Capt. but not on that play, no one moved, it was clearly an iso for JJ. No motion , no pick, nothing. Red has to do better. And I like Red, but that can’t be the play there.

Fairburn swung the game big time. They didn't need to let him try the first long one.

 

[JeffCuse]

Today felt like a pyhrric victory.

 

[JeffCuse]

Happy for the boys. The team is not very good but if they could manage the proper effort for 40 mins they could be just ok.

Perfectly stated. The best case scenario for Syravuse basketball has become "ok".

This also happened after the Cornell win I believe as well.
